JOURNAL FOR WINDING BOBBINS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 27, 1907.

Application filed May 15, 1907. Serial No. 873,861.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN MoUL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hanover, county of York, and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Journals for WindingBobbins of Bobbin and Spool Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to journals for winding bobbins of bobbin and spoolmachines.

In bobbin and spool machines, the rotary disks which revolve the bobbinmust be capable of separation far enough to admit the bobbin betweenthem which has heretofore necessitated having the shaft extend beyondthe journal so far that the journal soon wears so loose that the bobbinruns unsteadily, causing bad work.

The present invention has for its object the provision of a novelmovable journal for the bobbin whereby the shaft is provided with a longbearing which conduces to steadiness of rotation of the bobbin, evenwear, simplicity and ease of operation in renewing the journal, andfacility in placing the bobbin or removing it.

The invention is set forth fully hereinafter and its novel features arerecited in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawingsz-Figure 1 is a side elevation, dotted linesshowing the shaft, journal and disk retracted for the removal of abobbin; Fig. 2, an end view; Fig. 3, a view like Fig. 2 but showing thehandle broken away and shaft removed; and Fig. 4, a section on line 4-4of Fig. 3.

The numeral 1 designates a bearing standard having a journal box 2 whichhas a removable cap 3 secured by screws 4. Slidable through the box 2 isatubular or sleeve-like journal 5, in which is journaled a shaft 6, toone end of which is secured a disk 7 which is a companion to apower-driven disk 8 carried by a shaft which is independent of shaft 6.The bobbin 9 is held between and against the disks 7 and 8 and isrotated by disk 8. Shaft 6 has a reduced end 10 which carries andrevolves in a collar 11 held between the end of journal 5 and a cap 12.Screws 13 are threaded into the sleeve 11 through ribs 14 on the sidesthereof. A handle 15 which is pivoted on a pin 16 held by a bracket 17secured by screws 18 to standard 1, has a yoke 19 receiving the collar11 and provided with slots 20 into which the blank ends of the screws 18project. A spring 21 cooperating with handle 15, keeps the disk 7against the bobbin 9.

If the bobbin is in the position shown it is adapted for revolution bythe disk 8 but can be readily removed by retracting handle 15, thejournal 5 slipping through. the bearing 2. Another bobbin can then beinserted and the handle released to permit the bobbin to be clutched byand between the disks 7 and 8. While the shaft 6 is revolving, thejournal 5 remains stationary. 7

By the provision of the slip journal carrying the revoluble shaft, thelatter is provided with a rela tively long bearing, which tends to greatsteadiness in running of the shaft and bobbin, overcoming the defectsheretofore incident to bobbin journals. The removable cap 3 anddetachable connections between the shaft, journal, and lever permit easyrenewal of the journal when necessary.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as newand desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. In a journal for bobbins, the combination with a bearing, of ajournal movable longitudinally through said bearing, a shaft rotatablein and carried by said movable journal, and spring-actuated means forshifting the shaft and journal togetherin one direction.

2. In a journal for bobbins, the combination with a hearing, of ajournal movable longitudinally through said bearing', a shaft rotatablein and carried by said movable journal, and a spring-actuated handlecooperating with the shaft and journal.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto afliX my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

MARTIN MOUL.
